Mint Leaf Powder
In traditional Ayurveda and Unani medicine, mint powder was used as a “pitta pacifier” (cooling agent) — helping balance heat-related issues like acidity, rashes, and summer fatigue.
Mint Leaf Powder is the dried and ground form of mint leaves. It’s a concentrated, shelf-stable way to enjoy the cooling, refreshing, and medicinal qualities of mint.
